Sen. Ruben Gallego: "Mike Johnson is holding Congress out of session for two reasons: number one, so that way there are no negotiations; and number two, to cover for all the pedophiles on Epstein's list...They're covering for pedophiles and dropping your healthcare coverage."

No one 76 years old ought to be running for office.

Rev. David Black stood in front of a Chicago-area ICE facility and began to pray.

The masked ICE agents on the roof responded by firing pepper balls, with one striking him in the head

They shot a priest in the head. I’m calling every Catholic Church in town tomorrow.

I did not know that. Thanks for the clarity!

I saw a picture of Texas National Guard eating donuts outside a shop in Portland Oregon. The restaurants need to take a lesson from Chicago and toughen up. Leave these quislings hungry and needing a place to pee.

I don’t want my tax dollars paying farmers for a self inflicted crisis. We warned them, they ignored us, and voted for the orange shitstain. Nobody is helping us, when our grocery and power bills are climbing, but income stays the same.

In the last few weeks we’ve watched ICE:

Pepper spray the Portland frog
Tear gas members of Chicago PD
Zip tie children
Grab Chicagoans from their beds in dead of the night
Open fire on a civilian in her car

Yet they say immigrants are the threat.

Protesters are the threat.

We know better.

Easy day today. Cool, and gloomy over here! Good day to stay indoors after I get out and walk the dog!

“We are home now. We marched from the park to ICE, very peaceful crowd. We were standing around ICE pushed us down, sprayed us with chemical and I was hit in the head with a projectile. This was so unprovoked. People have to know that the Feds are attacking people with NO provocation whatsoever.”

Jared Golden votes with MAGA time and again. He voted for the Republican CR in September.

We know that MAGA wants to kill us when we see commercials for senior life insurance plastered all over the TV. F’ing hedge funds.

Donald Trump has committed treason. He is a terrorist and there is no one but the Congress to stop him. So you all need to get cracking.

Miller would just as soon killed him and disappeared his body. That’s coming. If we don’t stop them, they will keep this up.

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

I was in boot camp in 1971. Drill instructors were not allowed to lay a hand on us, and hadn’t been able to for years. Whiskey Pete cannot change the UCMJ to allow hazing. Only Congress can.

As Governor, my focus will be on our next generation, and keeping them in Colorado: I want young people to know they’ll be supported, have good-paying jobs, and be able to afford a place to live. And I will always show up for rural Colorado. www.ksjd.org/podcast/ksjd...

Hegseth is a war criminal. The murders in the Caribbean Sea prove that.
